Topolanek: wire-tapping claims vindicated

Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek has said that his claims on the eve of last year's general election that the Social Democrats had spied on political rivals have been vindicated. Before last June's general election, Mr Topolanek had alleged that the Social Democrat administration had bugged the phones of several people after a report by top police official Jan Kubice had been leaked, which suggested that there were links between organised crime and officials in the then Social-Democrat government.
